Guide to Watching Penn State Wrestling vs. Wyoming in 2025

In a dramatic shift in the FloWrestling NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings, the Penn State wrestling team has dropped from its longtime position at the top. Currently, they sit in second place with 103 points, trailing Ohio State, which has 104 points. Iowa closely follows in third with 102.5 points. This change comes despite Penn State’s undefeated start to the season at 3-0, where they excelled at the Black Knight Invitational. However, their decision not to participate in the recent National Duals Invitational contributed to their decreased ranking.

Penn State will be returning to the mat soon, as they prepare to face No. 24 Wyoming. This encounter occurs on Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern time, live on FloWrestling and the FloSports app. The match marks the second meeting in history between the two teams, following Penn State’s previous victory of 54-0 last season. The duel will take place at the Arena-Auditorium, part of the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie.

Recent Performances and Rankings

Leading up to this match, Penn State has secured wins against Drexel, achieving a 43-3 score, and defeating Lehigh 36-6. The Nittany Lions opened the current season by overwhelming Oklahoma with a 45-0 victory. In total, they have participated in three dual meets and one tournament so far this season.

On the other hand, Wyoming is looking to gain momentum after finishing seventh at the 2025 Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Wrestling Invitational. The Cowboys recorded two individual runner-up finishes from Joey Novak (197) and Christian Carroll (285). Wyoming’s current season record stands at 2-2, including victories over Western Wyoming Community College and California Baptist.
